I've started a how to article on at least the framework of somthing that would work for you. We would be glad to help you modify the code to be more like a chat application.

The code I started was for a HTTP server but the point where it is at it could go either way. There is no client yet but that wouldn't be too bad to do.

Let us know where you need help.

Look at the Sticky at the top of this forum. The first link should be helpful to you.
